Steve jobs the founder off apple computing has recently died (5th of october 2011) because of his long fight with pancreatic cancer his health has been depleting over the past few years and just a few months ago he resigned as CEO of apple computing, the multi-billionairehas left behind not only his fortune but a legacy that will echo on the internet forever. Not only was steve jobs the visionary that brought us the iPad and iPhone but the computer mouse; steve jobs was not just the founder of apple but the man who brought pixar to life and so many enjoyable computer animated films with it such as: toy story 1,2,3, cars, finding nemo and up.

Steve jobs has not always been with apple computing he was kicked from the company in 1985 for a period of twelve years, during the period of time steve bought a software company called next and started up pixar only to find that the new CEO of apple computing was losing the company a lot of money and when the apple bought next they also re- appointed steve as CEO. The return of jobs to the company along with newly bought next came a wealth of innovative idea's and new products such a the iMac and macbook pro with there edgy colour scheme sold in the droves, jobs was back and better than ever. Steve jobs made high end computing more affordable but still carrying a hefty price tag and more wildly available to the general public with the apple stores in twelve countries, jobs has not only managed to make the company a household name but a symbol representing the cult like following of the fans of their products and the experience of the superbly designed devices (Lead designer for apple:jonathan "jony"ive's).

Steve jobs was not only a man of technological knowledge but an aged business man that has launch the iphone and the ipad at the perfect time which then launched those products in the technology hall of fame; jobs was not a shy man he has spoken publicly about want he believes in and his look on the world. Some of the most memorable steve jobs do include how death is a big part off life 'Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.' and inspiring quote by one of the most influential man in the technology business. Steve always had a very profound way of looking at life which he did not hide, after the original case of steve's pancreatic cancer he was rejuvenated and look to set a legacy for himself in the way of creating great devices like the ipad (ipad has 68% of the tablet market) and the iphone (iphone has 20% of the mobile phone market). Steve jobs has set up a living breathing company that will carry on his dream for a better world to use technology; better technology, more useable and of course pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

From the start steve was always interested in computers, he dropped out of college to for fill his dream. Originally steve jobs did take a course at 'Reed college' in typography which is why all typography on morden computer's is so fluid and easy/ enjoyable to read. Steve has created and innovated so much in such a small amount of time he had which includes: the computer mouse, the ipad (the tablet that exploded the market and made it easier for other companies to move in to the space, but of course the 68% market share that apple has blatantly show's that the ipad is the tablet of choice). Apple is the portal that has let steve broadcast his ethos to the world that 'you don't have to settle for less than you deserve' meaning that you as a person deserve the best.

Steve jobs is one of the most loved business men in the world; loved by his family, friend, employees and the general apple community that keeps coming back year after year to see what new and exciting thing steve has added to there in new product. Some of the more passionate fans of apple will love everything that they do even though it might not be as revolutionary as it may seem but they still keep coming back for one reason; the experience of the products and the 'exclusivity' of them which has something to do with the pricing of the products as well.

Most people did not know who steve jobs was until the massive release of the iPhone and the iPad or as recently as his death, but for the people who knew what this innovative human stood for he was a real visionary. On apple.com's homepage when steve's death had been confirmed they changed the picture to a front on picture and beside him was his date of birth and the date of death (a shock to us all) the obituary read 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.' an obituary that speak for all of us when the world has lost a great man so soon. Steve's battle with pancreatic cancer was a long and arduous one and one that will not be forgotten, steve's health deterioration was one of the factors that lead him to resigning from position of CEO earlier this year. Steve jobs will not be forgotten.
